Nature’s Song

I turn and turn, ‘neath

the soft Summer burn


Listening to the soft hums,

I dance to the nonexistent drums


The songs and the beauty of it all;

Of Springtime before the Fall


The Flowers sing praises up to the Sky,

beholden upon a deity nigh


The Sky calls down with mighty threats,

telling of all of our regrets


The Grass cries ballads of broken dreams,

twirling lost through water in winding streams


The Wind whistles of shattered hearts,

two halves of a whole pulled apart


The Trees whisper of spilled secrets,

twisted and evil, rendering nights sleepless


The Clouds tell of the grandest stories,

myths and legends and the utmost glories


I sing and dance and hum along,

caught up in the eerie song


So lost am I, I do not see

that they have been watching me


Watching me and watching you,

spying on your family, too


We may leave this place,

but Nature will live on,

singing of this wondrous song
